Summer holiday at Upper Austria

As a very diverse province, Upper Austria has a wealth of landscapes, attractions and activities to offer. From the idyllic Salzkammergut region, which has been the setting for numerous film productions, to the rolling hills of the Mühlviertel region and alpine mountain regions. The state is especially known for a lively art scene in the capital city of Linz and for its extremely jovial population. The extensive nature of many regions invites visitors to become active outdoors. Cycling, hiking, horseback riding, swimming and recharging your batteries. The latter can be done particularly well at the power spots of the granite highlands of the Mühlviertel.
